Psalmorum 16
1 Tituli inscriptio ipsi David. Conserva me Domine, quoniam speravi in te.
Preserve me, O God, for in thee do I take refuge.
2 Dixi Domino: Deus meus es tu, quoniam bonorum meorum non eges.
Thou my soul have said to Jehovah, Thou are my Lord. I have no good beyond thee.
3 Sanctis, qui sunt in terra eius, mirificavit omnes voluntates meas in eis.
As for the sanctified who are in the earth, they are the excellent in whom is all my delight.
4 Multiplicatæ sunt infirmitates eorum: postea acceleraverunt. Non congregabo conventicula eorum de sanguinibus: nec memor ero nominum eorum per labia mea.
Their sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts for another god. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names upon my lips.
5 Dominus pars hereditatis meæ, et calicis mei: tu es, qui restitues hereditatem meam mihi.
Jehovah is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup. Thou maintain my lot.
6 Funes ceciderunt mihi in præclaris: etenim hereditas mea præclara est mihi.
The lines are fallen to me in pleasant places. Yea, I have a fine heritage.
7 Benedicam Dominum, qui tribuit mihi intellectum: insuper et usque ad noctem increpuerunt me renes mei.
I will bless Jehovah, who has given me counsel. Yea, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
8 Providebam Dominum in conspectu meo semper: quoniam a dextris est mihi, ne commovear.
I beheld Jehovah always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9 Propter hoc lætatum est cor meum, et exultavit lingua mea: insuper et caro mea requiescet in spe.
Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices. My flesh also shall dwell in hope.
10 Quoniam non derelinques animam meam in inferno: nec dabis sanctum tuum videre corruptionem. (Sheol h7585)
For thou will not leave my soul to Sheol, nor will thou allow thy holy man to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
11 Notas mihi fecisti vias vitæ, adimplebis me lætitia cum vultu tuo: delectationes in dextera tua usque in finem.
Thou made known to me the path of life. Thou will fill me of joy with thy countenance.
